February 8 – Winterscape

The winter sun peeks through a shoreline tree along Minnesota Point. Each new morning now brings an earlier sunrise, rising just a little farther north than the day before.

With the Spring Equinox only six weeks away, anticipation of warmer days begins to outweigh mid-February’s cold winds. The sun’s strengthening rays remind us that change is already underway. Even now, it is a joy to step outside and observe each day for what it is — a quiet promise of renewal.

This solitary tree serves as a reminder that when we feel alone, we only need to look up to see where our help comes from.

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19

Just as surely as spring will arrive, so too will the promises of God be fulfilled.
